Luftwaffe Flieger-Splitterschutzbrillen

Code: GLW-NIV

SOLD

By Nitsche & Gunther.  Fl. Nr. 30550. Type 'A'.  Introduced in 1944 these third pattern 'anti-splinter' goggles have moulded black plastic frames that hinge at the nose. They are fitted with small convex tinted glass lenses (type A) designed to provide some protection from flying shrapnel debris.  The frame looks to be in excellent condition but they have an 'invisible' repair at the hinge.  It really is virtually undetectable.   Marked "NiGuRa" (Nitsche and Gunther, Rathenow). No size markings. The lenses have light scratches only. The strap retainers are rather corroded and the strap is essentially missing.  Guaranteed original and not one of the Czechoslovakian copies currently circulating.  More photos available on request. Stock code GLW-NIV.
